Abstract

The disclosure provides a method and a device for receiving a television wireless broadcast signal. A mobile terminal acquires a geographical location where the mobile terminal is located; the mobile terminal acquires a signal strength corresponding to the geographical location of the mobile terminal from correspondence between a preset geographical location and the signal strength of a television wireless broadcast signal; and the mobile terminal receives the television wireless broadcast signal by using the acquired signal strength. By means of the technical solution, the user experience when the user receives the television wireless broadcast signal is improved.

Claims

1. A method for receiving a television wireless broadcast signal, comprising:

acquiring, by a mobile terminal, a geographical location where the mobile terminal is located;
